Wow! What a fast fun filled term that has been!

Here's some pictures to share with you of our last week before the October holidays!

We have had lots of opportunities to practice our balancing skills outside this week.

Lots of us enjoyed walking along the wiggly snake and balancing along the planks too.

Here are more of the boys and girls enjoying their super lesson in the hall with Mrs Garson.

What a super time they had with the carpet tiles.

Something we are working on in the nursery is sharing the children's learning folders with them more regularly. 

The butterflies loved having a look at all of their photographs.

Some of them were keen to add pictures and drawings to their files too.

Throughout next term we will be planning some small group activities where the children have further opportunities to look through and add to their learning files.

Woodland Puppet Fun!

The children have been loving the Percy the Park Keeper stories this week.

They enjoyed acting out parts of the story using these super puppets.

The children went on an Autumn Hunt Challenge!

They were busy looking for signs of the season.

They collected lots of different coloured leaves and twigs.

Some of these were added in to the sensory tray for us to explore even further.

Here are some of the children exploring their Autumn finds.

They used super words to describe what they looked and sounded like.

Tree Decorating!

We all had fantastic fun decorating trees with pip cleaners, beads, ribbon and shiny bells.

They look fantastic! 

We have added one at the entrance to the nursery and another one to our small world area.

One last day of the term in the nursery tomorrow and then it's holiday time!

We hope you all have a super holiday when they come.

We have been loving our role play cafe in the nursery for a number of weeks now.

This week we visited a real cafe!

Thank you so much to Argo's. We had a fantastic visit!

We were able to select our snack from our own 'peedie' menu!

We also bought and paid for our snack at the counter.

Then we all enjoyed eating our snack in the shop too.

Many of us have been interested in the season 'Autumn'. 

We have been finding out about this season and the changes that happen in Autumn.

We decided to have some 'Autumn Soup' in our water tray this week.

Some of the boys and girls went on a hunt to find the ingredients around the school.

They decided to add some leaves, branches and some flowers.

Throughout the term we have been busy developing our fine motor skills and mark making.

This week we drew some super self-portraits.

We have all popped them in our Learning Files so you can see them too.

We enjoyed some more playground games in the hall this week too.

This week the bumble bees had a wee go at baking for our snack.

We all had a turn at measuring, stirring and pouring the ingredients and all did a fantastic job at taking turns.

Well Done!

We are all enjoying our sensory trays at the writing table.

We have been busy writing and mark making in fake snow, shaving foam and Sahara Sand this week.

Some of us have been writing in it. 

Others have been drawing and some of us have been enjoying the different textures on our fingers and even noses!

More Autumn Fun Inspired Fun!

Many of us have loved painting the big tree branches in the art room.

We have been leaf printing and leaf painting too!

While others have enjoyed exploring all of our Autumn Themed items on the tough spot.

We have been using the magnifying glasses to look at the items closely.

We have also been using the tweezers and scissors to explore.

Mrs Garson popped in last week to do a wee PE lesson with the Bumble Bees.

Her lesson was using simple carpet tiles and was fantastic!

The children has a great time, strengthening muscles as they pulled each other around on the carpet tiles!

They used their listening skills and co-ordination as they placed different body parts onto the carpet tiles too.

Mrs Garson is returning tomorrow. 

The butterflies will experience this super lesson then and she will visit us the following week too so that the Ladybirds can have a wee shot also.

The children all loved this lesson and were all keen to go straight back!

A huge thank you to Mrs Garson..

The Butterflies were busy baking too!

They made us all a delicious snack!

This week the Bumble bees will be baking on Thursday.

We enjoyed a fun game during Small Group Time.

We played 'Guess what is hiding in the Sock!'

The children really enjoyed this game.

It was super at encouraging them to use all of their different senses.

It encouraged lots of communication and language too.

Later in the week, they were added in to the sensory tray which the children enjoyed investigating and exploring too.

Remember to pop back at the end of the week to see what we have been getting up to this week.
